Hi Wire Enchanter Baltic Porter

South

Historically brewed to withstand shipment across the North Sea, Baltic porters have a long tradition of being big, chewy beers. Enchanter draws from these roots by blending an abundance of dark malts with tannic dryness imparted by American White Oak. This robust porter was lagered for eight weeks.

Here's a sampling of the best beers being released in the coming week around the nation.
